Choose the guide that matches your decision

Start with price history when you want to judge whether today's listing is typical. Use the min buyout guide before treating the cheapest auction as market value. When comparing a purchase with a possible resale, work through flip profit and ROI, including the Auction House cut.

After buying, realized and unrealized profit explains why inventory value is not the same as completed profit. The listing-versus-sale guide helps separate asking prices from confirmed transactions.

Use multiple signals before trading

No single number can describe an Auction House market. A useful review combines the selected timeframe, the number and recency of observations, the spread between likely buy and sell prices, estimated fees, market depth, and unusual outliers. Thin or volatile markets deserve more caution than frequently observed materials.

AZPC's suggestions are research tools, not guaranteed outcomes. Prices can change between observations, and a listed auction may expire without selling. Check the item's current page and recent history again before committing substantial gold.

Use guides with live market data

The guides explain the concepts; the AZPC Price Checker applies them to supported items using AZPC's stored observations. You can also compare recent market movers, research potential flips, or browse tracked item prices. For details about AZPC's calculation pipeline, see How AZPC Works.
